You are absolutely right! I did my research for 3 weeks, cleaned out my pantry and stocked up on ketofriendly food. I started on July 15th and lost 59 lbs so far. Keto and IF combined. I'm really strict with my macros, kept it very simple the first 2 month and started experimenting recipes after. I'm still over 200 lbs and have a long way to go, but I feel so much better already, less pain, less medication for my high bloodpressure, more energy. I feel like I can do it and I'm over 50. You can change your live, no matter at what point in your live you are. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!
I just turned 50...and am not losing much on keto...have been blaming it on my age and slowed metabolism and damn menopause...I still crave sugar...I am not sure how to get over this damn addiction.. but thank you for sharing...gives me hope.
The keto police are always out in full force. I know lazy/dirty keto works for us! There are countless ways to do keto. Do what works for you and try to stay true to your journey!
Thanks Jess so much for the advice! 👏🏽 I need to watch this EVERYDAY! 1. Research and plan what to do. 2. TRACK YOUR MACROS! Learn the skill....own it. 3. Limit sweeteners and dairy, initially. 4. Tune out the noise (“opinionaters”). 5. Invest in your thoughts (be kind; pay attention to the non-scale victories). 6. Move your body (do something, activity you enjoy). 7. “Stay in your own lane” (don’t be other’s focused)! 8. Trust the process (a slow loser is not a bad thing, get back up, it’s a journey). 9. Be prepared for the fight of your life (the overweight body didn’t happen overnight). 10. ? (I think I missed one...and I watched twice)
From her notes under the video: 1 & 2) Research & Plan 3) Track Your Macros 4&5) Limit dairy and keto sweeteners AT FIRST or until you have regained control of your diet 6) Invest in Kind Thoughts About Yourself 7) Move Your Body 8) Trust The Process 9) Stay in Your Own Lane 10) Be Prepared To Fight For Your Life
I was strong up until the couple of things you’ve said- i am listening to you and crying because of what I needed to hear!! It has taken me 13 years to gain about 80 lbs and I’ve been yo-yoing for the 8 years leaving me giving up on myself and you just always have the most positive things to say when I’m on the verge of just giving up.. thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this video.. on your phone because I know I’m not the only one who needed this❤️ you’re just awesome!!
Thank you so much for this video! In 3 days I will be starting week 4 on keto. I have been doing EVERYTHING right and I have only lost 7lbs. I told my husband I was going to give up because everything comes so hard for me (a real pity party). And then I watched and really LISTENED to this video and it gave me a different perspective. Thank the LORD! He always knows just what you need and when you need it. Blessings Andrea
Love this Video. I have to translate this to my sister in German. She has started on this journey. Merry Christmas to you and your family. As of today, i lost 37lbs. yay me!!
169.8 on the scale today!! Feels so good to be below 170lbs. It’s been years since I saw that. Every diet I tried always flared my MS and made me feel terrible. I’ve been keto since July 15 and am down 44 pounds. Thanks so much for your help Jess!! Awesome vids 🥳
I love your videos, they are just down to earth and you speak the truth! I would love for you to do a video detailing intermittent fasting. Like do you eat all your macros (or close to it) in the one meal when you break your fast? When you are IF, are you doing OMAD? When you workout, do you subtract that info (calories burned, etc...) from your daily macros?
You are spot on about the research. I researched for months before I started and now it’s been almost 2 years and I don’t stop researching. There’s always more to learn and there’s always room for improvement.
Agreed. I researched for two weeks before I started. I slowly got rid of all the carby shit in the house and filled it back up with high fat and protein stuff. You gotta prepare to succeed!
I needed this so much today. Thank you, thank you. I had done so well on keto, lost over 70 lbs but fell off the wagon due to personal circumstances that were overwhelming. I was being unkind to myself and undoing the good I had done. You make me realise that this is what happens and I must just get back up and carry on. Thank you for being so honest and fighting alongside the rest of us. You are an inspriation:)
Jess, I have been watching Keto videos for 15 months. I've watched all different kinds of people, especially doctors! You are by far my favorite person so far. You are so down to earth! Thank you for all the encouragement. I have lost 30 pounds but it's been almost nonstop for months. Up and down . It may be my age. Not sure. Keep the tips coming girl!
Thanks, Jess for such wonderful content you put out. Congrats on losing 95 pounds so far. You've been a huge inspiration to me and want you to know how much you've inspired others to get started and keep at it even through all the struggles. I wanted to wish you and you're family a Merry Christmas and Cheers to a Happy New Year! I'm cheering you along your journey!
I am so glad I found your channel. I have a few others I watch in the Keto community, but your so genuine. Your a great coach. I am cooking my meal preps while listening/watching you and I am saying “yeah she’s right” as I listen. Thanks for all you do. It’s great to have you in my playlist.
Jess thank you for your tips, you answered most of my concerns...I am a slow loser and I get discouraged sometimes. But I don't want to quit, this journey is mine and will do anything to conquer my goal. I'm stopping Keto today for vacations but will go back starting January.
She reminded me of my history with weight loss so my body is probably saying, "What the H is she doing now?! I am healing so the weight loss comes secondary. I can't believe what a difference this way of eating has had on my knees, my brain fog, my hunger (lack of), my pre diabetes.
I just now stumbled on this video. Jess thank you, thank you, thank you, with all my heart! I am in tears right now. I’ve been Feeling defeated, I’ve been in a stall, tested very low ketones this morning, haven’t changed my macros but after watching this video, I am so motivated to pull myself up, dust myself off and keep going. God bless you for sharing your knowledge and for being such an incredible person. ❤️
You are doing brilliant and you have such pretty eyes to 💜 I definitely need to get back on keto as I’m diabetic without a full pancreas. And I need to get my bloods back low Thanks your the positive advice from Faye uk 🇬🇧
Hi Jess, I've been watching you now for over a month (binge watching all ) I fell in love with that laugh & personality from day 1.. you are so relatable and give great advise. I'm a little older than you and in menopause so losing weight is a bit tougher for me but I'm still fighting, lol.. I have told so many of my coworkers and friends about your channel. Keep the videos coming. Can't wait to see what the new year brings for you. I know you will hit your goal weight, your attitude on your weight loss journey is amazing. Thank you again for all you do.. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
I feel lucky that after 8 months of not eating processed sugar, I can now eat foods with “keto friendly” sweeteners and it does not appear to affect my progress or cause me to crave sugary snacks. The only non-keto food I do indulge in a few times a month is popcorn! But I don’t do any popcorn with sugary coating- just butter/salt
Just discovered your videos, love them! Would love to know your fasting ideas! how long do you do it and how to keep your electrolytes up during the fast?
Wow! I just recently found you. When a friend of mine started Keto I asked him questions and he was super helpful so I researched, researched, researched! I think I have spent hours upon hours of watching videos on here. So much that I have rewatched videos not realizing until they started up and I was like oh wait seen this one. That being said, this is a top one for me! I saved this and am rewatching it to help me on my journey. I started on June 17th and am down 20 lbs. Everything you just said makes perfect sense and somehow nobody else has said it the way you just did. THANK YOU!! You have been an inspiration to me and I really enjoy your videos. The gym study hit me. That is the main thing keeping me out of the gym. Thank you again. You are appreciated!! Way to go on your journey and, once again, thank you for your brutal honesty!
OMG! I needed to hear this video right now! This video gave me the slap in the face I needed to get me started again. Everything you said was so real to me right now. I've been doing so good the last 6 weeks and all of a sudden I hit a wall. It started with food commercials, I felt myself slipping, wanting, craving. Then I hit a stall then i starting eating just a little of things I shouldn't have then the I gained 3lbs which isn't a lot but I can feel myself slipping, thinking of food excuses like I'm just gonna eat this it shouldn't matter etc...but it does matter! So thankful to you and you're honest videos. Thanks for putting me back on track. Back to the keto basics! 😊
Thank you so much for the tips! I am currently on step 1 and 2. I tried Keto once before but it was a epic fail. That time I dove head first in without doing my research. This time I told my hubby that I was going to research and plan instead of diving in. I am currently a little over 300lbs so I got a lot to lose. I am so thankful I found your channel!! 💚💚💚
This is an amazing video! How did I just now discover this! Your tips are spot on. I gained so much weight back with the artificial keto sweeteners and with heavy cream and cheese...gosh I never thought it through the way you explain it. Thank You! I’m doing the beef and butter fast this week to re set and that’s because of your videos
Jess- this is the most important video you have given so far!!! You took the words out of my brain. Thanks to you I am starting the beef and butter fast today to give me a swoosh and change things up. I am down 45lbs and I still have another 45lbs to lose. I want to fight, I have prioritized this fight as the most important mission in my life. THANK YOU
Thank you! Love the video and your channel. Are you still going to do a video about the proper way to calculate your macros and tracking them. I know this is where I fall short.
Wow...I am not a person that likes to comment on social media topics...but I just would like to say as my spirit leads. Im on the keto plan since August 2021 it is October 26,2021 47lbs. down from a morbid obese diabetic body trying to prepare for double knee surgery!! I have moved my A1c from 9.97 to 8.1% in this amount of time at which I must be at a 7% or lower in order to be ready for surgery. So as I listen to your talk I thank you for the "SHARE TO CARE" ....thank you for the blessing. Please keep up what you do it is helping little old me as our paths cross.
Thank you Jess. I have been doing Keto since 6-24-20and I am diwn 18 lbs. The kast 2 weeks I have strayed and gained this week. This heloed get me back in the swing of things.
Thank you, Jess. I needed to hear this tonight. I. Can. Do. This. I make all the excuses in the world on why I can’t, but listening to you, I know I just have to get my mind in it. Thank you, thank you. So glad I found your channel, you are so real and inspiring.
Thanks Jess for the tips!! I really needed the reminder to keep pushing on. 40 lbs down and 60 to go!! Love your videos and appreciate all your help. I watch every chance I get. Congrats on your success and you look amazing girl. 💕
You are the most inspiring person on all Keto channels. Everything you are saying is spot on. I also started this journey earlier this year and even tho I did a lot of research before I started, I had to learn the hard way on most of what you just covered. I hope everyone listens to your advice as it is ALL true. I have lost 50 lbs and now close to GW. This works. Thank you
This week l lost 5.8#. That was due to 3-40 hour fasts. It was easier than l thought it would be. I had surgery today, socan' t fast for a while, but l'll get back to it when l can. You've helped me realise l can do this. Thank you.
I have never done macros. I lost over 35 pounds this year actually since March 2018. Went from 18 to a 12 and I continue the keto diet. I don’t track anything I just stay away from all of the foods that are high in sugar including root vegetables. For someone new yeah if they want to take the time and do that that’s great. But I did it without doing that you can lose weight by not tracking macros
Congratulations cyndi .i hate tracking. Will u plz share ur tips tricks and how u did it? I need to lose 20 s lbs by summer time and i love fasting thx alot appreciated. Great video jess
Rola Eadeh I’m going to do the same thing. I have 20 pounds to lose by summer as well. I am really going to take some things out of my diet that I’m careless with. Catchup is one of them. I have been eating some baked goods with almond flour and artificial sweetener which you can get careless with. There are still grams of carbs in almond flour so I’m gonna cut back on that. As it is winter it’s harder to walk but as soon as it starts getting nice I’m going to walk. I also binge on TH-cam. I love listening to Jess and how wonderfully she’s done. I cannot even imagine having to lose that much weight. 50 pounds sounded a lot to me. I will continue to watch her videos. She is very helpful uplifting and has some great recipes and wonderful ideas
Rola Eadeh Also I did it by cutting out all flour and all sugar all grains. No rice no potatoes no noodles basically meats and vegetables. I did have some fruits. But I listened to a lot of great people to get motivated and keep me going. Dr. Berg Dr. Ken Barry Dr. Eric Westman Mark Sisson and many more
As much as it goes against my nature to track macros, I painstakingly did it for many weeks. Then I saw Jess's video on Carb Manager and opened a free account. It's super simple. I'm still learning all the tips. I, too, noticed if I have baked goods or too much cheese, I feel sluggish. I then will skip a meal to have OMAD or maybe even an extended fast. As Jess says, keep your body guessing. As for walking during the winter, my 88 year old aunt walks several laps at the big grocery store near her and then grabs a cart to do her shopping.
Kate DIY very good!!! Ya I’m Atkins old school. Don’t need no stinking macros. Everyone is different. You can say all people need the same things. Keep up the good work.
I really love your energy and your attitude! I started keto (but only with paleo food) last tuesday and in 4 days I broke my 2 month plateau and lost 3 pounds! I started the paleo diet the 1st August 2019 and never looked back! And lost 40 pounds in 6 months, now I use the paleo food but with the keto macros and I continue my journey! Hugs and kisses from beautiful Italy! 🇮🇹
I'm with u jess! Research and planning is key!!!! I researched for a good 30 days b4 I started! I read material and watched TH-cam videos Dr. Berry and Dr. Berg were key!! I didn't start tracking until after about 30 days because with the keto flu that was too overwhelming for ME
I did some research, but dove right in. I didn't know what I was doing. Beforehand, I told a few people what I planned to do and they'd ask if I was going to load up on all the foods I'd no longer be eating. I said no. I knew it was only going to make my transition more difficult. So, I ate healthy and then started tracking and drinking lots and lots of water. Still learning as I go. I'm 8 weeks in.
I am glad I found you I will take step by step day by day I am fasting today and tomorrow mine is religiously fasting I just figure out keto life style I have sugar addiction
Real life messages tremendously help. Huge thanks for being relatable, non-condescending and supportive. I’m sure I speak for not only myself but for many others who follow you, a Keto lifestyle is attainable and sustainable. “Trust the process” is the messaging that resonates with me. Keep up the great work, Jess. Big xoxo’s 💞, Robbin
this is February 2021 and I just listened to this video, I love your approach so much. Starting Day 1 today with the Jan 2021 clean eating. And can't wait to watch the tool box video. Thank you so much, I am actually going to take a picture to start this journey. Can't wait to learn more.
Thank you! I will Fight and not give up! Your passion and words to help others fight for personal integrity and honor was powerful and meaningful, positive and life giving. Keep up the good work- Jess!
Your passion is contagious! Thank you for your inspiration and for caring so much for your viewers. I am doing the research, making the plan, ordering the monkfruit sweetener, getting the holiday chocolate out of the house, and cleaning up my diet already in anticipation of Jan. 1 keto start. Today was my first day on carbmanager. It's not hard to navigate. Thanks for all your advice and encouragement. You are so amazing and I hope you know how many people you are helping!
Thank you. I can do this. I especially like your last tip. Be ready to fight! You are the first person to say that it won't be easy and you are right, thank you for that.
I absolutely love this video love how positive Jess is and how amazing she is getting her message across to the view! Felt she was talking right to me!! 💖
:( gained 80 lbs in like 9 months and have been trying to get rid of it ever since. Day 4 of keto, here's hoping. Congratulations to your awesome work 😊
Thanks, Jess. I so needed to hear this. "Trust the process" especially resonates with me. I knew, starting out, I would have to heal before weight would come off, but if I'm honest I was hoping to see similar results others have had. I'm in week 8 and I think things are starting to move. I've had several health improvements already, for which I'm so grateful. I'm also glad I started this instead of the proverbial first of the year so I'm better prepared to navigate through the holidays.
Hell yess I wish I had more people like you around. Your someone that keeps me excited about this journey and real makes me confident in my ability to finally rid myself of this extra fluff
Thanks for these tips. Even though I am just starting Keto, the tho g I have going for myself is that I actually love myself. It took me until I was 59 yrs old to realize that I was kind to everyone except me. I can actually say that when I look at myself in the mirror I don't have one unkind thought going on in my head. I have told my Dr that even if I didn't loose weight I would still be ok but I know that this weight is effecting my health. I must become the best version of me and that means a healthy weight. I am so worth it!
Excellent video,, I will hit my 1year of Keto February 15 th ,,,, it’s changed my life. I don’t do weigh ins because I know I would of gone crazy seeing the numbers change higher or nothing at all so I only weigh in at the doctors so basically twice this year, But what I can say is I have gone down from size 22 to a 16 and feel good plus all my labs results are perfect . Keep on educating us cuz we can always continue to learn something through your success
This was great and super timely. We have Christmas dinner tomorrow because that's when family is in town. This video helped ensure I'm sticking with the plan. It is the fight of my life! 😉
Thank you. Watched this weeks weigh in - and then I watched this one. Thank you! I needed this - I can get back on track and get it done. Like you say - I didn't get to this size overnight. Thank you.
Thanks Jess for your very informative videos. Tried the beef and butter fast a few days this past week to get the scale moving again. I love your enthusiasm and keep up the good work. You are a great inspiration to us all. Hope you have a Merry Christmas!
Congratulations Jess! I am so proud of you and I honor the work that you have done to get yourself and us in the same ballpark. You’re absolutely right fight fight fight can be the only song We sing every day until you can get your mind around the concept about what is truly nutritional for your body and your life. Jess, Buy your energy and enthusiasm I feel lifted up and in very good company!. I have my own little tribe around me who I value very much also and I am going to send them your way should they require a boost. Happy new year and congratulations for the year to come.
I'm here in 2020 but you are so relatable from your starting weight to your feelings on things and thank you because I started ADF this week and I feel so much better! I'm easing in with a 36 hr fast and doing the 500 calories on the fast day so modified ADF but will move into plain old ADF when I feel ready. So happy I found your channel!
I Just Love You, I Just can't Help Myself Not Telling You - You are My Inspiration ❤☺.. G'day from Australia I like your laugh, so positive and energetic 😘😍❤
Thank you for this video. You are a very good motivator for me. I’ve been keto on and off and I’m really hoping to stick to it this time 😊 btw where do you get your Keto apparel. I’m loving that shirt off the shoulders Yasss! 👍😁
Thank you. I look forward to your posts. I’m down 22lbs. My goal is to start tracking, wanted to get into the swings of the diet first. You are right, portion control is a huge learning curve. Passing on all the holiday treats has been challenging. I plan a off day for Christmas Day. I’m less concerned about jumping back in to the keto diet because overall I feel so much BETTER eating this way. Agree, we are all on our own journey.
Jess, Thanks for another inspiring video. You are so easy to relate to and you have inspired me and helped me so much. Listening to your advice and seeing how much you've changed has kept me on track and losing weight. Thanks again for your great advice!
Jess you are amazing!! I love your transparency and your straight forward personality!! Not sure how I found you but so glad I did. I have been off and on Keto...hoping to full Keto and not cheating... I am going to listen to you everyday. 😉
Thank you so much for this video. I so so so needed this today. I am already keto, but the way you talk about changing your thoughts and being kind and not beating yourself up is exactly what I needed to hear today. I struggle with depression in spite of being on meds, and sometimes I just don't have the energy to fight for myself, but I will keep trying.
I am a new subscriber. Thank you so much for sharing. You will be one of my guides as I go through this process. Your experience and positive attitude are really resonating with me.
"Even falling on your face is a step forward." 🤘💜

I just turned 50...and am not losing much on keto...have been blaming it on my age and slowed metabolism and damn menopause...I still crave sugar...I am not sure how to get over this damn addiction.. but thank you for sharing...gives me hope.
I like that you post often, you're a very likable person.
The keto police are always out in full force. I know lazy/dirty keto works for us! There are countless ways to do keto. Do what works for you and try to stay true to your journey!
Keto Twins so true! There isn’t one true way to do keto (besides
Kate Kingston don’t let those nay-sayers get you down, you got this! :)
Thanks Jess so much for the advice! 👏🏽 I need to watch this EVERYDAY!
1. Research and plan what to do.
2. TRACK YOUR MACROS! Learn the skill....own it.
3. Limit sweeteners and dairy, initially.
4. Tune out the noise (“opinionaters”).
5. Invest in your thoughts (be kind; pay attention to the non-scale victories).

9. Be prepared for the fight of your life (the overweight body didn’t happen overnight).

I think I have spent hours upon hours of watching videos on here. So much that I have rewatched videos not realizing until they started up and I was like oh wait seen this one. That being said, this is a top one for me! I saved this and am rewatching it to help me on my journey. I started on June 17th and am down 20 lbs. Everything you just said makes perfect sense and somehow nobody else has said it the way you just did. THANK YOU!! You have been an inspiration to me and I really enjoy your videos. The gym study hit me. That is the main thing keeping me out of the gym. Thank you again. You are appreciated!! Way to go on your journey and, once again, thank you for your brutal honesty!
OMG! I needed to hear this video right now! This video gave me the slap in the face I needed to get me started again. Everything you said was so real to me right now. I've been doing so good the last 6 weeks and all of a sudden I hit a wall. It started with food commercials, I felt myself slipping, wanting, craving. Then I hit a stall then i starting eating just a little of things I shouldn't have then the I gained 3lbs which isn't a lot but I can feel myself slipping, thinking of food excuses like I'm just gonna eat this it shouldn't matter etc...but it does matter! So thankful to you and you're honest videos. Thanks for putting me back on track. Back to the keto basics! 😊
Thank you so much for the tips! I am currently on step 1 and 2. I tried Keto once before but it was a epic fail. That time I dove head first in without doing my research. This time I told my hubby that I was going to research and plan instead of diving in. I am currently a little over 300lbs so I got a lot to lose. I am so thankful I found your channel!! 💚💚💚
This is an amazing video! How did I just now discover this! Your tips are spot on. I gained so much weight back with the artificial keto sweeteners and with heavy cream and cheese...gosh I never thought it through the way you explain it.
Thank You! I’m doing the beef and butter fast this week to re set and that’s because of your videos
Jess- this is the most important video you have given so far!!! You took the words out of my brain. Thanks to you I am starting the beef and butter fast today to give me a swoosh and change things up. I am down 45lbs and I still have another 45lbs to lose. I want to fight, I have prioritized this fight as the most important mission in my life. THANK YOU
Thank you! Love the video and your channel. Are you still going to do a video about the proper way to calculate your macros and tracking them. I know this is where I fall short.
Wow...I am not a person that likes to comment on social media topics...but I just would like to say as my spirit leads. Im on the keto plan since August 2021 it is October 26,2021 47lbs. down from a morbid obese diabetic body trying to prepare for double knee surgery!! I have moved my A1c from 9.97 to 8.1% in this amount of time at which I must be at a 7% or lower in order to be ready for surgery. So as I listen to your talk I thank you for the "SHARE TO CARE" ....thank you for the blessing. Please keep up what you do it is helping little old me as our paths cross.
Thank you Jess. I have been doing Keto since 6-24-20and I am diwn 18 lbs. The kast 2 weeks I have strayed and gained this week.
This heloed get me back in the swing of things.
Thank you, Jess. I needed to hear this tonight. I. Can. Do. This. I make all the excuses in the world on why I can’t, but listening to you, I know I just have to get my mind in it. Thank you, thank you. So glad I found your channel, you are so real and inspiring.
so glad I research, because I found that keto was different for people over 60 and I am 64!
Thank you Jess!! Love the tips!! : ) Keep them coming. : )
Thanks Jess for the tips!! I really needed the reminder to keep pushing on. 40 lbs down and 60 to go!!
Love your videos and appreciate all your help. I watch every chance I get.
Congrats on your success and you look amazing girl. 💕
Thank you, Jess!! You’re so upbeat! I agree with every one of your steps. I needed to hear this today!
You are the most inspiring person on all Keto channels. Everything you are saying is spot on. I also started this journey earlier this year and even tho I did a lot of research before I started, I had to learn the hard way on most of what you just covered. I hope everyone listens to your advice as it is ALL true. I have lost 50 lbs and now close to GW. This works. Thank you
You are adorable, and I watch you all the time. But this video was my favorite! Love your passion! Great tips. Thank you for the inspiration.
Always trust the process! I saw major changes in the way my clothes were fitting long before the scale started moving.
This week l lost 5.8#. That was due to 3-40 hour fasts. It was easier than l thought it would be. I had surgery today, socan' t fast for a while, but l'll get back to it when l can. You've helped me realise l can do this. Thank you.
Wow! You got me fired up. I am fighting for myself! Thank you!!
Jess, thank you, thank you, thank you. I really needed to here this.
God Bless you and your family.
Jess. Do you have a three day get into ketosis plan? Thank you so much for sharing your journey!
A water fast and exercise (to burn up your glycogens) will get you into ketosis fastest.
"Beef and Butter Fast" for 5 days.
I have never done macros. I lost over 35 pounds this year actually since March 2018. Went from 18 to a 12 and I continue the keto diet. I don’t track anything I just stay away from all of the foods that are high in sugar including root vegetables. For someone new yeah if they want to take the time and do that that’s great. But I did it without doing that you can lose weight by not tracking macros
Congratulations cyndi .i hate tracking. Will u plz share ur tips tricks and how u did it? I need to lose 20 s lbs by summer time and i love fasting thx alot appreciated. Great video jess
Rola Eadeh I’m going to do the same thing. I have 20 pounds to lose by summer as well. I am really going to take some things out of my diet that I’m careless with. Catchup is one of them. I have been eating some baked goods with almond flour and artificial sweetener which you can get careless with. There are still grams of carbs in almond flour so I’m gonna cut back on that. As it is winter it’s harder to walk but as soon as it starts getting nice I’m going to walk. I also binge on TH-cam. I love listening to Jess and how wonderfully she’s done. I cannot even imagine having to lose that much weight. 50 pounds sounded a lot to me. I will continue to watch her videos. She is very helpful uplifting and has some great recipes and wonderful ideas
Rola Eadeh Also I did it by cutting out all flour and all sugar all grains. No rice no potatoes no noodles basically meats and vegetables. I did have some fruits. But I listened to a lot of great people to get motivated and keep me going. Dr. Berg Dr. Ken Barry Dr. Eric Westman Mark Sisson and many more
As much as it goes against my nature to track macros, I painstakingly did it for many weeks. Then I saw Jess's video on Carb Manager and opened a free account. It's super simple. I'm still learning all the tips.
I, too, noticed if I have baked goods or too much cheese, I feel sluggish. I then will skip a meal to have OMAD or maybe even an extended fast. As Jess says, keep your body guessing.
As for walking during the winter, my 88 year old aunt walks several laps at the big grocery store near her and then grabs a cart to do her shopping.
Kate DIY very good!!! Ya I’m Atkins old school. Don’t need no stinking macros. Everyone is different. You can say all people need the same things. Keep up the good work.
Me to Jess I have been a yo yo Dieter!! I been back in ten days !! I have got to be consistent with this!!! I have almost thirty pounds to go!!
I really love your energy and your attitude! I started keto (but only with paleo food) last tuesday and in 4 days I broke my 2 month plateau and lost 3 pounds! I started the paleo diet the 1st August 2019 and never looked back! And lost 40 pounds in 6 months, now I use the paleo food but with the keto macros and I continue my journey!
Hugs and kisses from beautiful Italy!
🇮🇹
I'm with u jess! Research and planning is key!!!! I researched for a good 30 days b4 I started! I read material and watched TH-cam videos Dr. Berry and Dr. Berg were key!! I didn't start tracking until after about 30 days because with the keto flu that was too overwhelming for ME
I did some research, but dove right in. I didn't know what I was doing. Beforehand, I told a few people what I planned to do and they'd ask if I was going to load up on all the foods I'd no longer be eating. I said no. I knew it was only going to make my transition more difficult. So, I ate healthy and then started tracking and drinking lots and lots of water. Still learning as I go. I'm 8 weeks in.
I am glad I found you I will take step by step day by day I am fasting today and tomorrow mine is religiously fasting I just figure out keto life style I have sugar addiction
Your so genuine; thank you for sharing your journey - your so easy to listen to and understand.
Real life messages tremendously help. Huge thanks for being relatable, non-condescending and supportive. I’m sure I speak for not only myself but for many others who follow you, a Keto lifestyle is attainable and sustainable. “Trust the process” is the messaging that resonates with me. Keep up the great work, Jess. Big xoxo’s 💞, Robbin
So encouraging and helpful! Thank you!
Needed this today .. thank you for the inspiration!
this is February 2021 and I just listened to this video, I love your approach so much. Starting Day 1 today with the Jan 2021 clean eating. And can't wait to watch the tool box video. Thank you so much, I am actually going to take a picture to start this journey. Can't wait to learn more.
Thank you! I will Fight and not give up! Your passion and words to help others fight for personal integrity and honor was powerful and meaningful, positive and life giving. Keep up the good work- Jess!
Your passion is contagious! Thank you for your inspiration and for caring so much for your viewers. I am doing the research, making the plan, ordering the monkfruit sweetener, getting the holiday chocolate out of the house, and cleaning up my diet already in anticipation of Jan. 1 keto start. Today was my first day on carbmanager. It's not hard to navigate. Thanks for all your advice and encouragement. You are so amazing and I hope you know how many people you are helping!
I am starting my Journey today!! 05/26/2020 Because of watching you video's!! Thank you for the motivation!!! Wish me luck!!!
Thank you. I can do this. I especially like your last tip. Be ready to fight! You are the first person to say that it won't be easy and you are right, thank you for that.
I absolutely love this video love how positive Jess is and how amazing she is getting her message across to the view! Felt she was talking right to me!! 💖
Thank you, I’m going to try this!!
:( gained 80 lbs in like 9 months and have been trying to get rid of it ever since. Day 4 of keto, here's hoping. Congratulations to your awesome work 😊
I just stumbled onto your video and subscribed. I like how you are giving real facts about losing weight and fighting for yourself.
Sooooo motivating how you talk and give positive tips. This definately is a video i will be playing over and over again 💜💜💜 thank you so much 💜💜💜
Thanks, Jess. I so needed to hear this. "Trust the process" especially resonates with me. I knew, starting out, I would have to heal before weight would come off, but if I'm honest I was hoping to see similar results others have had. I'm in week 8 and I think things are starting to move. I've had several health improvements already, for which I'm so grateful. I'm also glad I started this instead of the proverbial first of the year so I'm better prepared to navigate through the holidays.
Thank you Jess! You always inspire me to keto on! I love your channel, your inspiration and your excitement and encouragement!
Hell yess I wish I had more people like you around. Your someone that keeps me excited about this journey and real makes me confident in my ability to finally rid myself of this extra fluff
I love your shirt ... where did you get it. You are awesome, I love all your videos. You are a great inspiration. Such a great transformation !!!!!
Thanks, I really need it, and have a Merry Christmas and happy New Year
Thanks for these tips. Even though I am just starting Keto, the tho g I have going for myself is that I actually love myself. It took me until I was 59 yrs old to realize that I was kind to everyone except me. I can actually say that when I look at myself in the mirror I don't have one unkind thought going on in my head. I have told my Dr that even if I didn't loose weight I would still be ok but I know that this weight is effecting my health. I must become the best version of me and that means a healthy weight. I am so worth it!
Thank you Jess!!! Great tips. Have a wonderful Christmas the best for you and your family..... thanks for sharing 🥰
Excellent video,, I will hit my 1year of Keto February 15 th ,,,, it’s changed my life. I don’t do weigh ins because I know I would of gone crazy seeing the numbers change higher or nothing at all so I only weigh in at the doctors so basically twice this year, But what I can say is I have gone down from size 22 to a 16 and feel good plus all my labs results are perfect . Keep on educating us cuz we can always continue to learn something through your success
Jess thank u for this video. I am going to save it and watch it when I feel like giving up. Let's do this!
Lots of great advice 👍🏼. It’s such a mental game losing weight! Peace , love and positivity to you too Jess! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Great video Jess! Thank you, and congrats on losing the amount of weight you have lost to date and keep on ketoing on!
This was great and super timely. We have Christmas dinner tomorrow because that's when family is in town. This video helped ensure I'm sticking with the plan. It is the fight of my life! 😉
Thank you. Watched this weeks weigh in - and then I watched this one. Thank you! I needed this - I can get back on track and get it done. Like you say - I didn't get to this size overnight. Thank you.
Thanks Jess for your very informative videos. Tried the beef and butter fast a few days this past week to get the scale moving again. I love your enthusiasm and keep up the good work. You are a great inspiration to us all. Hope you have a Merry Christmas!
thank you for your tips. I needed to hear this I am going to start my journey in Jan....
Congratulations Jess! I am so proud of you and I honor the work that you have done to get yourself and us in the same ballpark. You’re absolutely right fight fight fight can be the only song We sing every day until you can get your mind around the concept about what is truly nutritional for your body and your life. Jess, Buy your energy and enthusiasm I feel lifted up and in very good company!. I have my own little tribe around me who I value very much also and I am going to send them your way should they require a boost. Happy new year and congratulations for the year to come.
Thank you. Just what I needed to affirm what I am doing. You are awesome! WE ARE GOING TO GET TO THE FINISH LINE!!!
Jess..I love it hearing you put this in terms that we can understand...eyes on your own plate...cheers to you my girl
I'm here in 2020 but you are so relatable from your starting weight to your feelings on things and thank you because I started ADF this week and I feel so much better! I'm easing in with a 36 hr fast and doing the 500 calories on the fast day so modified ADF but will move into plain old ADF when I feel ready. So happy I found your channel!
Went off Keto during the holidays ... your videos are inspiring me but need to get motivated again !
I Just Love You, I Just can't Help Myself Not Telling You - You are My Inspiration ❤☺.. G'day from Australia
I like your laugh, so positive and energetic 😘😍❤
This is a great video. I felt like you were talking to me and I totally relate. Thanks!
Thanks for the wisdom Jess❣
You have shed years in addition to pounds, and you smile more.
Thank you for this video. You are a very good motivator for me. I’ve been keto on and off and I’m really hoping to stick to it this time 😊 btw where do you get your Keto apparel. I’m loving that shirt off the shoulders Yasss! 👍😁
Thank you. I look forward to your posts. I’m down 22lbs. My goal is to start tracking, wanted to get into the swings of the diet first. You are right, portion control is a huge learning curve. Passing on all the holiday treats has been challenging. I plan a off day for Christmas Day. I’m less concerned about jumping back in to the keto diet because overall I feel so much BETTER eating this way. Agree, we are all on our own journey.
You are so inspiring - thanks I feel like I am part of your family.
Thank you for your GREAT videos, I love you honesty and encouragement. Thank you for helping us.
Jess, Thanks for another inspiring video. You are so easy to relate to and you have inspired me and helped me so much. Listening to your advice and seeing how much you've changed has kept me on track and losing weight. Thanks again for your great advice!
Jess you are amazing!! I love your transparency and your straight forward personality!!
Not sure how I found you but so glad I did. I have been off and on Keto...hoping to full Keto and not cheating...
I am going to listen to you everyday. 😉
Thank you so much for this video. I so so so needed this today. I am already keto, but the way you talk about changing your thoughts and being kind and not beating yourself up is exactly what I needed to hear today. I struggle with depression in spite of being on meds, and sometimes I just don't have the energy to fight for myself, but I will keep trying.
I am a new subscriber. Thank you so much for sharing. You will be one of my guides as I go through this process. Your experience and positive attitude are really resonating with me.
